The University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum are
pleased to host the 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Preservation of
Natural History Collections (SPNHC) from May 27-31, 2025. We look forward to
welcoming you to Lawrence, Kansas, USA. We are aware that these are not the
originally advertised dates and that this now conflicts with the AIC meeting
happening at the same time in Minneapolis but conflicts beyond our control
relating to accommodations have necessitated the date shift. We hope that you
will still join us.
The conference website is now live at
spnhc2025.ku.edu<http://www.spnhc2025.ku.edu> which contains preliminary
information on Lawrence, transportation and travel options, and a tentative
agenda for the meeting. This information will be updated with more details
concerning accommodations, registration, abstract submission, and more become
available.
With the launch of the website, we have also opened the call for sessions,
symposia and workshops<https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/symposia-sessions-workshops>.
If you are interested in chairing or convening a session or symposium, please
complete the Google form<https://forms.gle/oe3h1RbUDvcNoSCK8>. If you wish to
run a workshop, please contact us. Confirmed sessions will be posted on the
website in due course. Deadline for submissions is January 10.
Additionally, applications for Travel
Grants<https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/travel-grants> are now open. Please complete
the applicable form for Fitzgerald or Christine Allen travel grants. Separate
calls will go out shortly from the SPNHC Recognition and Grants Committee.
Deadline for submissions is January 31.
We will also be relying heavily on generous support from vendors and
sponsors<https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/vendors-sponsors> to keep costs as low as
possible. We will be approaching traditional and local vendors and sponsors
for support but would be grateful for any leads the community may have for
additional contacts. Many opportunities exist at various levels as outlined in
the conference prospectus document available on request as a PDF.
More details on accommodation options (both hotel and KU apartments),
registration and abstract submission will be forthcoming soon.
Please contact us with any questions or comments at
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
We look forward to seeing you in June 2025.
Thanks
Andrew Bentley
